huey graphite Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 A long time ago I recall reading on OFC what I think was a fisherman's prayer or something similar. Kind of "I fish therefore I am" statement. The only lines I can remember read something like..... "Fishing is not something I do, it is something that I am" and "Once you understand this, you will understand me" A little vague I know....but if you can help me find this verse, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, HG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 i grew up fishing at a camp that had this on the wall: Fisherman's Prayer God grant that I may live to fish For another shining day, But when my final cast is made I then most humbly pray, When nestled in your landing net As I lay peacefully asleep, You'll smile at me and judge That I'm "good enough to keep."

Seeker Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I am a fisherman for life. I will always be a fisherman. It is not something I do, it is who I am. Fishing is not an escape. It is where I belong, where I am supposed to be. It is not a place, but a lifelong journey. It is a passage my father showed me, and that I will show to others. When you understand all of this, you will know me, and we will fish together. Author Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Lord, as I travel miles out into the lake, In search of the bounty you so graciously did create. Watch over me should my $15,000 motor die once more, And grant me enough gas to blow myself to shore. Edited October 15, 2009 by Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
